Suncook Connector Bridge

Posted August 10, 2012, by Daniel Hopkins (chimera [at] clovermail [dot] net)

I remember back in October of 2008 when I visit Suncook, NH that I was so confused when the GPS mapping tool I had borrowed showed a bridge just to the right where the actual bridge was and I couldn't figure it out for the longest time until someone at a local subway explained that there was an older bridge they had replaced a year ago.
